Hi,

Well here's my 1st attempt on a Moon Mosaic. You can click on the link directly below the image to view the original LARGER image. You'll have to scroll around to find the pup.

Herschel 06-07-06

Posted By James Witt

Hi Wes,

Super image ... make one feel they're flying by Herschel when viewing the image. Even the fine detail is there.

On another topic, is there a program or something out there (free or not) that maps the Moon with nice images? I downloaded the Virtual Moon Atlas but the images aren't that good.

Vacuum cleaning of lenses and eps

Posted By James Witt

Hello Joe,

I retired from the semi-conductor industry designing tools. I've never personally used a vacuum wand that they use for wafers and other substrates but I wonder how they would work? I know they sell them on ebay and I know they make cordless ones.

As always WOW!,

Nice 3d effect too. Even though I've asked, I'm still not sure how to accomplish the MAP process ...... regardless it quite obvious it adds that extra touch. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Wes,
